54 CHAPTER 2: WORKING WITH THE 3WXM USER INTERFACE
The monitor tab has a toolbar with options to navigate to the windows
listed above, to switch the view to the previous or next monitored object,
and to reorganize the windows within the tab. Hold the cursor over a
toolbar option to display a description of the option.
The scope of the data displayed depends on the object that is selected.
For example, if you select a Mobility Domain, the information applies to
all the WX switches, MAP access points, and radios in the Mobility
Domain. If you select an individual radio, the information applies only to
that radio.
To open the Monitor tab, select an object in the Organizer panel, then do
one of the following:
■ Select View > Monitor or View > Monitor in new Window from
the main 3WXM toolbar.
■ Right-click on the object, then select Monitor or Monitor in new
Window from the menu.
If you use the View > Monitor or Monitor option, the object displayed
in the window changes if you select a different object in the Organizer
panel. The View > Monitor in new Window or Monitor in new
Window option continues to display data for the same object even if you
select another object after opening the tab.
You can distinguish between the two Monitor tabs by looking at the tab
titles. The title shown in bold text is the tab that changes when you select
a different object. The other tab’s title is not bold, and that tab remains
focused on the same object until you close the tab, regardless of the
objects you select in the Organizer panel.

The Explore window shows the status of 3Com equipment within the
scope of the object selected in the Mobility Domains or Sites section of
the Organizer panel.
■ If you select a Mobility Domain or WX switch, 3WXM presents a
link-based view of the equipment. You can hide or redisplay the MAP
access point connections on a WX switch by clicking on the minus
sign or plus sign in the right corner of the object. Likewise, you can
hide or redisplay the WX switches in a Mobility Domain.
■ If you select a MAP access point or a radio, the floor plan containing
the MAP or radio is displayed. The floor plan also is displayed if you
